RE:VAMP & RE:LAUNCH

Purpose driven leaders…

Leadership Lab launch updated site with intentional focus

Marty has recently worked alongside this organisation to realign and focus the site around their increasing purpose driven focus.

Having set up the original site in 2014, we were able to utilise a lot of the Wordpress structure, while creating custom content areas to clearly emphasise the areas of impact that Leadership Lab work in today.

  • “Definitely outside the square. Attentive,perceptive, creative, flexible, supportive & reliable. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend”

    Sonja | Manager Ilam Health

  • Marty’s creative and diverse skill set, understanding of the health sector, and value-adding ideas contributed amazingly to our Practice re-branding and website development.

    Jill | Manager St Martins Medical

  • I have been fortunate to have had Marty supporting my business for 20 years. He “gets us”, and helps others to “get us too”.

    Kate Nattrass | Owner and Director of Tonix Healh

  • From the start we found Marty very easy and fun to engage, a good listener, flexible and patient but genuine, and current with his ideas. We were impressed with the options he presented , turn-around times and the final outcomes and costs for our brand refresh

    Steve Glass | Director Ikana.com

  • He has the ability to engage & listen to all new concepts, philosophies, approaches, etc. and come back a short time later with a synthesis of our sometimes random and divergent thinking into clear, compelling messages and logical convincing ways to communicate this to our various audiences and markets.

    Chris Jansen | Director and Founder of Leadership Lab

What gets us up each day?

We love creatively inspiring people and getting to see people fulfill their passions and visions.

Mostly this is in a business or organisational sense but also personally empowering people with understanding and knowledge to improve, enhance and amplify who they are and what they do!

We share our insights, our intel. We are honest, transparent and know that that’s the best way to get stuff done well.

We don’t start the stop watch every minute we start talking! We do as much or as little as you need or want. Simple.

The best match is to each do what we do best and learn from each other along the way. We’re in the long game knowing what that can achieve in all aspects of business and life.

If you’re like that maybe we can mix it up together!

Keen to chat…

Let’s grab a coffee, a craft beer, and something good and see how we might add value to your organisation

If you like what we do, then let’s talk!
